Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Steny Hoyer have called the constituents speaking out against ObamaCare at town halls “un-American,” and that didn’t slow them down. Will calling them “racists” do it? MS-NBC’s Ed Schultz tosses a softball to Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), last seen being flummoxed by his own constituents last week.
At the time, Dingell dismissed his critics as “infiltrators.” Today, they’re the equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan (via The Weekly Standard):
What message has the House Democratic leadership sent this week to voters in their district? If you show up to town halls to criticize us, you’re un-American Klan members. Somewhere in here, there’s a killer GOP television spot just itching to run in the summer of 2010.

Thanks for providing the illustration.
It’s “un-American” and “racist” to challenge Obama and his goons.
Who cares what they call us. Even if we go along with ObamaCare the vicious left will think of us as Nazi’s and Klansmen anyway.
So look at it this way: If we stop this attack on our very liberty, they’ll call us bad names but we’ll be free. If we go along, we’ll lose our freedom and when we protest the forced sterilization of our brothers and sisters they’ll (you guessed it) still call us Nazi’s and Klansman and all kinds of other mean names like “reactionary” and “throwback” and “bigot” and anything else they can imagine.
I choose freedom, Baby! Let’s fight ObamaCare with everything we’ve got.
If we didn’t live in Bizzaro world, I would say that insulting your constituents was not a good way to campaign. However, the ignorant, racist, rednecks of Pennsylvania have shown that politician’s distain is not a reason to vote for someone else.
I wonder what Dingell knows about the Klan?
>Dingell has the Klan part right, he’s just applying it to the wrong side. :-)

Mr Dingell is the poster boy for projection.
What’s next?
TERRORISTS.
We will be labelled as terrorists and be subject to homeland security scrutiny and punishment.
The Klan, Nazi’s, paid thugs....Declining revenue, ratings, viewer loyalty...I think the MSM are just pissed at the little people for not watching them.
True the KLu-Klux-Klan were MOSTLY ALL DEMOCRATS...
Some of the bozos have been in Congress way to long. They are so damn old they can’t think like they used to. Which is real scary because they never could think very well in the first place.
What does HE know about the klan???
It’s just another way of calling up some more White Guilt.
Funny that he neglects to mention that all those sheet wearing, Klan hooded anti equal rights amendment goons that were running around back then,..were all DEMOCRATS!
It just goes to show that Dingle has lost his mind. He is as irrelevent as the bull coming out of his mouth. Is that the best he has got? WOW!!! I am totally not impressed.
BTW Mr. Dingle if you actually bothered to read a history book, then you might see Democrats and KKK together. He should also read about his progressive party, and how they developed in 1930’s Germany. How did that work Dingle? NOT TO GOOD FOR THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!
surprised that no one has said anything about the Gladney beating. Ask him what side is acting like the klan?
Constituents getting uppity, John?
Good lord...is Dingell reminiscing about his “good ol’ days” or can he really be that stupid? What an ass.
